For the "lower" oomycetes, Sparrow's Aquatic Phycomycetes is a starting
point. There are good keys/treatments of Achlya (late 60s) by
William Scott, and Saprolegnia by Roland Seymour in 1970 or 71, Nova
Hedwegia
If these leads aren't enough I'll e-mail my lab and have them check my
bookshelf. (I am on sabbatical currently and havent worked much on the
watermolds in about 3 or 4 years)
